Turfcare, the UK and Ireland distributor of the Ventrac multi-implement compact
tractor and Ryan turf maintenance equipment, is returning to SALTEX on stand
B124.
With the
business celebrating its second anniversary in January 2019, it has been an
exciting time for Managing Director Rupert Price.
“We have
come a long way in a short space of time,” he said. “It’s been a roller coaster
ride establishing a network of dealers and doing demonstration tours across the
UK, but it has worked.
"We
realise that prospective purchasers of the Ventrac have to see the machine in
action and we have travelled the length and breadth of the UK and Ireland
establishing the brands credentials.
"Also,
the addition of the Ryan franchise last year has broadened our product
portfolio, enabling us to offer customers a comprehensive range of turfcare equipment.
“What is
particularly pleasing is that some of our early Ventrac customers are coming
back to add further attachments or in some cases, buying another machine. For
instance, Darren Baldwin, at Tottenham Hotspur Football Club has added a couple
of Power Brooms for maintaining the pathways, parking areas and synthetic
pitches at their training centre, while Peter Pattenden at Carden Park has
purchased a second machine, because he has been so impressed with the
versatility of his first machine.
"Chris
Brook of The Club Company purchased two machines; one each for courses in the
group that needed a machine with a light footprint in wet conditions. Angus
Lindsay of idverde purchased a machine for a new contract with Northampton
Borough Council, which requires considerable bank mowing and we’ve been
successful with several local authorities in the north of England.”
